Of course Apple's website says that Siri is in beta. They are not dumb. They want to avoid all of these lawsuits.

How do I get in on this class action suit?! I'm so pissed about how crappu my Siri is, I was lead to believe it was better than this. It cannot even do a simple web search, it cuts off in the middle of me saying a short command. I hate it!!! Totally misleading!!!

Great program, amazing footage. Two gripes: stop the inane anthropomorphizing. The tree is not a "she" or a "queen." Irritating as all hell. Second, why don't you identify the birds? You identified every insect and mammal but not the weavers, the barbets, the pigeon...

Because any iPhone on Verzion will only use EVDO REV A. for data regardless of the model. EVDO REV A. averages around 700k to 1 Mbps. The iPhone 4S is a hybrid radio that includes HSDPA 14.4 Mpbs/HSPUA 5.76 Mpbs for people on HSPA networks like AT&T.

Oh, come on! Did anyone watch listen or read the Keynote address when the phone was announced and introduced? Clearly it was stated that Siri is in beta and that there would be a few bugs. I haven't had any problems with Siri, then again, I am not that gullible to believe the hype and glory spread by the mainstream press and the average tech blog reporter who neglects all the details and fawns over the precious. Apple has clearly stated that Siri is in beta. get over it.

Completely agree with LeBeef. I have been bashing Apple for using this practice on my site for months now. There are so many other great features of the phone the DO work properly, WHY on EARTH would you focus on the one Beta piece that never works and spend millions promoting the phone as such. I wont join the suit, I don't believe in it - this country is too litigious as is so I wont be a party to a lawsuit over something this stupid, and sadly I worked in Advertising before my conscience took over so I understand how truths are stretched or enhanced. But come on - this isn't even close. The thing NEVER works, ever.

If camera quality is so important then buy a proper digital camera, even an 8MP DSLR will be miles ahead of a 4S.
For Siri there is no alternative device, Gamers should buy consoles, photographers should buy cameras, people who want to use dictation to control their phone have Siri and only Siri on the iPhone, and it plain and simply doesnt work as a key selling feature of the device.
Windows Phone and Android voice control are much better, agreed its not fluid and you have to say given commands but at least the phones do what you tell them.

Here is where Apple opened themselves to this lawsuit. For a beta program, they are making every effort to sell it as THE forefront feature for the iphone 4s. Otherwise its just another iphone 4. You shouldn't put an incomplete feature as the forefront of your flagship product.
Still these peeps suing cannot be so ignorant to how siri works and that its performance is directly tied to the performance of your data network. If its crap, well then Siri will be crap. Suppose all in the lawsuit must be Sprint customers :)

After commercials:
“Sequences shortened. Coverage varies.”
Legally, that's good enough.
On website:
"1. Siri is available in Beta only on iPhone 4S and requires Internet access. Siri may not be available in all languages or in all areas, and features may vary by area. Cellular data charges may apply."
Legally, that's good enough.
The user manual also outlines that a good data connection is needed, and certain things may interfere with the service.http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iphoneuser_guide.pdf
Legally, that's also good enough.
This suit is frivolous.

That was actually par tof my point too, VARIABLES .... this guy could have an accent or speech impediment that adversely affects Siri's ability to recognize what he is saying. Basically people just need to use common sense. NO PRODUCT can be expected to work 100% of the time flawlessly.

I would personally like to see where Apple lists Siri as a beta other than the Apple keynote that most consumers haven't seen or a tiny footnote on the website which most haven't seen even if they did buy it via the web. I'm looking at a 4S box now and it's not there either.

That commercial where the kid tries to get Siri to teach him how to play guitar and then wants her to call his deluded self "Rock God", is absolutely ridiculous. I've tested Siri out to attempt some of the things shown in the commercial. Some things work. Others don't. But a lawsuit based on unrealistic expectations is purely daft.
